I don't think you ever saw Derricks trike on ebay. It was hand built In the last few months. The ol girl looks sooo bad asss D. I love It.

Are you talking about Derrick A. from Ohio? He just got his 450 trike finished and tried to race it this past weekend. He had a little get off and hurt his thumb. The trike looked pretty fast though.

did derrick sell it or not?? If so, why did he sell it? You at trikefest or not?? I have the same screen name on 3ww. I plan on building one next year, custom chassis, crf450r motor. First I have to get my custom chassis atc250r together, yes I got a frame made and it wasn't cheap either, but it should hold up better to mx than the 3 stock frames I broke.

I didnt sell it, nor do I want to. I did take it out last week and had a little tumble. Broke my thumb, so a twist will be on it for a while. Going to have to sit out until Labor day.

The bike runs great. We swept the 4 stroke class at Trikefest. Did some pretty good damage in the drag races too!

Here's another pic of it, but there is a full thread in this forum on it.

That's what I'm talking about! That thing must be wild with a twist on her. Brandon got a swingarm at the shop yesterday, so he should be back up and running soon.

Yeah, I heard that. Except that it's a -1 and he was running a +2. He had a hard crash at Trikefest because he had to switch to a stock swinger.

Hey Derrick, did Steiner do you engine mounts? I might put a 450R engine in the 400EX and if will need some work. Later, Mark

Jason Hall from Concord MI built my whole bike. He's an excellent fabricator for atv hybrids. He does all our bikes.
